Deskripsi

Heterogeneous populations of basal cells in the prostate epithelium contain stem cells. Here the authors show that Zeb1 marks a pool of prostate epithelial stem cells that self-renew, generate prostate glandular structures with all 3 epithelial cell types and are required for prostate basal cell development.
